Help! Time Sensitive Question

So I painted my fondant pieces with a pearl dust mixture (just pearl dust and vodka) but it's drying sticky. Has it just not dried long enough or did I mess something up? The cake is due in the morning!! Please help!

I've never used vodka with pearl dust so I can't be sure, but whenever I've used any kind of dust I just apply it on its own and it does the job...no water or vodka or anything else necessary in my experience.

A little bit of alcohol goes a long way when brushing fondant. If you brushed too much on, just give it some extra time to dry. Run a CLEAN fan near, but not directly on, the cake, and that should speed up the dry time.
